H.R. 4413, the Consumer Protection and End-User Relief Act, passed the House of Representatives by a bipartisan vote of 265-144. This legislation exempts cooperative entities, like the Cooperative Finance Corporation, from margin requirements under the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill and clarifies Congressional intent to protect end-users, including electric cooperatives, who use physical contracts with volumetric options. NRECA supports H.R. 4413 and encourages the Senate to consider this legislation.
